As Halloween approaches, we wanted to let you know about some of the great things you can look forward to on HauntedIllinois.com this season.

HALLOWEEN EVENT DIRECTORY

Haunted Illinois' event directory now has more than 90 events listed and the list will get much larger as it gets closer to Halloween.

With all of its useful searching/sorting features, our event directory will make it ultra-easy to find your favorite Illinois Haunted Attractions! You may sort the entire event list by the name of the event, city, region of the state or the date the listings were last updated. Or if you prefer, you can use one of our handy searching features to filter the list of events, to make it even easier to find the events you are looking for. You can search the directory by Region (North West, North East, Central West, Central East, South West and South East Illinois), Event Type (Haunted House, Hayride, Haunted Trail, Home Haunt, etc), Dates of Operation of the Attractions or use our Multi-Category search (a combination of the Region, Event Type and Date queries). Also available is our convenient zip code search! Just type in your zip code, select a distance (radius in miles) and this feature will show you a list of events that are near you, including the number of miles away each event is from your zip code!!!

If you are looking for Haunted Houses, Hayrides, Haunted Trails, Yard Displays, Home Haunts, Fall Festivals or other Halloween-related events, you will find them all in our directory. For more details about these events or to submit a Halloween-related event of your own, visit:
